Then Paul said to him, “God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! Do you sit to judge me according to the law, and command me to be struck contrary to the law?”
保羅對他說：「你這粉飾的牆，上帝要打你！你坐堂為的是按律法審問我，你竟違背律法，吩咐人打我嗎？」
23:4
ወይቤልዎለጳውሎስእለይቀውሙበእፎትጼእልሊቀካህናቲሁለእግዚአብሔር።
Those who stood by said, “Do you malign God’s high priest?”
But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, “Men and brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. Concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am being judged!”
A great clamor arose, and some of the scribes of the Pharisees’ part stood up, and contended, saying, “We find no evil in this man. But if a spirit or angel has spoken to him, let’s not fight against God!”
When a great argument arose, the commanding officer, fearing that Paul would be torn in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him by force from among them and bring him into the barracks.
The following night, the Lord stood by him and said, “Cheer up, Paul, for as you have testified about me at Jerusalem, so you must testify also at Rome.”
When it was day, some of the Jews banded together and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink until they had killed Paul.
到了天亮，猶太人同謀起誓，說：「若不先殺保羅就不吃不喝。」
23:13
ወእለሰከመዝተማሐሉይበዝኁእምአርብዓብእሲ።
There were more than forty people who had made this conspiracy.
Now therefore, you with the council inform the commanding officer that he should bring him down to you tomorrow, as though you were going to judge his case more exactly. We are ready to kill him before he comes near.”
So he took him and brought him to the commanding officer and said, “Paul, the prisoner, summoned me and asked me to bring this young man to you. He has something to tell you.”
於是把他領去見千夫長，說：「被囚的保羅請我到他那裏，求我領這少年人來見你；他有事告訴你。」
23:19
ወአኀዞመልአክለወልድበእዴሁወአግኀሦበባሕቲቱወይቤሎምንትኑነገሩዘታየድዐኒ።
The commanding officer took him by the hand, and going aside, asked him privately, “What is it that you have to tell me?”
He said, “The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down to the council tomorrow, as though intending to inquire somewhat more accurately concerning him.
Therefore don’t yield to them, for more than forty men lie in wait for him, who have bound themselves under a curse to neither eat nor drink until they have killed him. Now they are ready, looking for the promise from you.”
He called to himself two of the centurions, and said, “Prepare two hundred soldiers to go as far as Caesarea, with seventy horsemen and two hundred men armed with spears, at the third hour of the night.”
“This man was seized by the Jews, and was about to be killed by them when I came with the soldiers and rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman.
這人被猶太人拿住，將要殺害，我得知他是羅馬人，就帶兵丁下去救他出來。
23:28
ወፈቂድየአእምርጌጋዮአቅረብክዎውስተዐውድወሐተትኩከመበእንተምንትያስተዋድይዎ።
Desiring to know the cause why they accused him, I brought him down to their council.
When I was told that the Jews lay in wait for the man, I sent him to you immediately, charging his accusers also to bring their accusations against him before you. Farewell.”
後來有人把要害他的計謀告訴我，我就立時解他到你那裏去，又吩咐告他的人在你面前告他。 」
23:31
ወገብሩሐራበከመአዘዞሙወነሥእዎለጳውሎስበሌሊትወአብጽሕዎአንቲጳጥሪስ።
So the soldiers, carrying out their orders, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris.
於是，兵丁照所吩咐他們的，將保羅夜裏帶到安提帕底。
23:32
ወበሳኒታተመይጡውስተአህጉረአድያምወአውዐሉአፍራሲሆሙ።
But on the next day they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the barracks.
